In this enlightening discussion, Dr. Mindy Pelz, an expert in fasting and hormone health, shares valuable insights into how fasting can be a powerful tool for women, particularly during menopause. As women age and estrogen levels drop, they become more insulin resistant, making it difficult to maintain a healthy weight and regulate blood sugar levels.
Dr. Pelz explains that the same dietary habits that worked in a woman's 30s may no longer be effective in her 40s and 50s. By understanding the body's energy systems and using fasting to switch from glucose burning to fat burning, women can regain control over their metabolism, support brain health with ketones, and improve overall well-being.
